THE New SUPREME CoURT AND
LIBRARY BUILDING Gen. w p
Roberts, State Auditor, returned
from New York yesterday where he
has been on official business. While
there he made purchases of ca1psts
and part of the furniture for the
Supreme Court department in the
new building. 1t is the purpose of
the State council to have this .ciepart-
ment ready. as fareas possible for the.
meeting ofthe Supreme Court which
will be on September 10th. These
purchases were made with as much
dispatch as good examinations and
judgment of the material wanted
would permit, in order that no time
might be lost in getting the Supreme
Court department completed, and
there was no time to consider bids
from different houses. The library
and other rooms of the building
have not been provided for in the
way of carpets and furniture. Sam
pies and prices for the material needs
ed for these departments are now
on file i'll the Auditors department
unopened, It's thought that more
bids will be asked for, and it is ex-
Pected that they will be solicited by
advertisement in few days.-Ner

bered fully one thousand souls. All got
accommodations,t though some were little
crowded; but yesterday we think the
crowding was relieved by a more conven-
lent distribution. The lateness of :he
hour of reaching the city caused this
crowding for the night. our hotels doing
all they could to oaccommodatelthe visitors.
It is one of the best excursion parties we
have ever seen, splendid order reigning
supreme. Yesterday the crowd took the
city, going all over its every section.
prospecting as it were, seeing its splendid
and manv attractions, its buildings, its
business houses and enterprises, and its
improvements now in progress. We met
very many of the party, and all, with
one accorl expressed great astonish-
ment at seeing a city ofsuch proportions,
such enterprise, such evident progress We
sincerely hope each and every one enjoy
ed him or herself, and will leave our city
entirely pleased with all they met with
TIC contribute to their pleasure and COM
fort the weather was perfect, and the
streets were dry. We should state, by
way of apology to our visitors, that the
very large number of piles of building
materials found on our streets and in all
sections of the city are being used in the
construction of fine business and resi-
dence buildings, and are not placed there
for devilment or obstruction.
Another feature attracted our attention
in connection with this excursion. We
met a number of intelligent gentlemen
who were here really with an eye to
business, investigating the attractions
and prospects of the place. Some came
to obtain work, and did SO. The uni
versal expression of all these was one of
astonishment, as well as satisfaction at
all they had seen. We again express the
hope all were pleased with their trip,
and many saw enough to induce them
to come again and join US and grow up
with our fast growing country.

Mr.. M. F. HAMProN's REPORT.

Mr.. Hampton has been running a
thresher in his, Leicester. section this
year. and reports that he threshed 5,S97
bushels of wheat in about twenty days
The wheat generally was splendid, and
the yield, 80 far as his experience goes
is one-third larger than last year, and
much better in quality. He himself
raised 7S bushels on 1 acres of tobacco
land. Had Is acres in wheat, from which
he threshed 236 bushels ofthe best wheat
he ever raised.
Mr.. Hampton also threshed /, 1897 bush
els of oats and Isl bushels of rye. The
yield of oats over last year is about the
same proportion as of wheat. Rye is not
50 largely cultivated as in the past,
which is to be regretted. A good rye
field in winter affords fine pasturage for
stock. and helps out dry food greatly,
specially to the benefit of stock.

A TREAT.

A TREAT.
Capt. Robert B. Johnston was SO
kind yesterday as to share with us
some of his own Summer treasures
grapes, peaches and apples. One
apple was a marvel of beauty and
size, the October strawberry, the
largest and the finest by far we have
yet seen. Among the peaches was
the Foster, a surprisingly beautiful
and fragrant fruit; the Solway and
the red Melocoton. The grapes
were the Concord. Subsequently
we visited Capt, Us vineyard and
found the Concord, Easther, Per-
kins, Catawba, Rebecca and other
varieties in perfection.
Four miles from the city Capt.
JOHNSON has a fine farm, largely
given up to fruit culture. He has
on it one thousand peach trees, and
innumerable apple trees. This year
there was almost total failure of the
peaches, and the apples did not fare
much better.
